Please join our team and support the Cycle Against Cancer!

When someone you love has cancer, you know how devastating it is, physically, emotionally, and financially. The Cycle Against Cancer will raise money to help CT cancer patients pay basic living expenses such as rent, mortgage, and utilities. Since 2009, the Cycle Against Cancer has provided over $1 million in financial aid to over 1,500 Connecticut families battling cancer. The money raised this year will provide grants to CT cancer patients through CCF's CT Cancer Patient Assistance Program.

Marik.

Light, energy, chaos. Marik was an adventure from the minute he blazed into this world. Despite the universe conspiring to keep him from hearing, running, winning; he just wouldn’t quit. He did things on his terms until his very last breath.

He loved grass green, the Dallas Cowboys, Twitch, and Xbox. Gaming wasn’t just something he did, it was the biggest part of him. He couldn’t sleep the night before a game launch, laughed hysterically with characters called Fish Ninja and Sock Monkey, and played Call of Duty up until the day before he left this world.

He battled Osteosarcoma like the warriors in his games. Valiantly, without fear, and charging forward with the heart of a true champion. He wasn’t meant for this world of “normal”, and was more at home with fantasy. He was real, honest, loving, shy, funny, innocent. He was everything the rest of us should strive to be.
